Everton sign Beckford from Leeds

Everton have completed their first signing of the summer by completing a deal for Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford.

The 26-year old agreed terms and passed a medical yesterday and is now officially an Everton player.

Toffees boss David Moyes has been on the trail of the prolific lower league hitman for over a year and has finally got his man on a free transfer. The deal is believed to be worth about £1million a year.
